McCulloch Stadium McCulloch Stadium provides the home field for the Willamette University Bearcats. Ogdahl Field at McCulloch Stadium is an artificial turf facility that is one of the top NCAA Division III facilities in the Pacific Northwest. It combines the closeness and atmosphere of an old-time stadium with modern elements as a FieldTurf playing surface, spacious locker rooms and a new scoreboard with jumbo video screen. The stadium seats approximately 2,400 fans. All seating is covered, providing fans with a comfortable setting even in inclement weather. The press box, located above the seating, was designed with plenty of room for coaches, media representatives and the statistical crew. It also includes a booth for the public address announcer and official timer, as well as a room for WU’s president to host supporters and dignitaries. Since 1998, Willamette has earned a 41-23 (.641) record at McCulloch Stadium. The Bearcats are 10-2 at home over the past two seasons.
With lights surrounding the field, the Bearcats have been able to add another element to Willamette football with night games since 2004. The Bearcats also play afternoon games to take advantage of the sunny skies during most of the season. Another advantage is that the stadium includes an athletic training room, allowing Willamette athletes to receive treatments on-site. Football players have convenient access to athletic trainers at practices and home games throughout the season. Likewise, Bearcat football coaches have office space at the stadium in addition to offices at the Sparks Center on campus. This is helpful for watching game films and for holding team and position meetings. Last season, Willamette’s home schedule included a 20-13 victory against California Lutheran and a 42-13 win over Whitworth, as the Bearcats finished 4-1 at McCulloch Stadium. WU is 35-22 (.614) at home since Mark Speckman became head coach. McCulloch Stadium also features the Charles Bowles Track, an all-weather facility that is the home for Willamette’s highly-

regarded men’s and women’s track and field teams. The track also provides a great place for the finish line at home cross country meets. This season, Willamette will host the NCAA Division III West Regional in men’s and women’s cross country. The entire complex, which also includes Roy S. “Spec” Keene Stadium for baseball, is adjacent to Bush’s Pasture Park. The park
hosts cross country meets on its wide paths and also is known for its art exhibits, rose garden, trees and expanses of open land. McCulloch Stadium is located just two blocks from the Willamette campus. It is a short distance for students to walk from dorm rooms to the stadium to attend home games. WU played six home games in 2008, including two NCAA Playoff games.
Bearcat Locker Room Willamette has a spacious locker room at McCulloch Stadium that is used during all
practices and home games. It features individual lockers with plenty of space for storing equipment. From the start of preseason until the end of the year, the Willamette locker room is a key part of Bearcat Football.

Season Outlook Willamette University enters the 2010 season with an experienced squad and a challenging schedule. The Bearcats have achieved a 19-3 combined record over the past two seasons. In 2009, Willamette was 8-2 overall, including 5-1 in the Northwest Conference (2nd place). The Bearcats will open this year's schedule by playing four consecutive games against very talented opponents, starting at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point on Sept. 4, followed by traveling to Hardin-Simmons University (Texas) on Sept. 11. WU will host NAIA foe Southern Oregon University on Sept. 18. Following an open date, the Bearcats will start Northwest Conference play against defending NWC champion Linfield College on Oct. 2. "It really places a premium on guys working hard during the summer and coming in ready to go," Speckman said about playing at Stevens Point and having four difficult games early in the schedule. "We don't have much time to prepare."
Offense A key factor for Willamette is the return of two quarterbacks who received extensive playing time as freshmen in 2009. Brian Widing started the final nine games after Ryan Whitcomb was injured in the first game for the second year in row. Kevin Ramay also saw significant action, as Willamette spent nearly the entire season using a two-QB system.
Whitcomb received his bachelor’s degree this spring and is expected to return to action this fall while starting academic work in Willamette's Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. He will likely see action at quarterback, flanker or wide receiver. Head Coach Mark Speckman has flexibility in how to utilize Whitcomb's strengths due to the tremendous success of Widing and Ramay this past season. Whitcomb is an exceptional runner and a team leader. In Whitcomb's only full season of action at Willamette in 2007, he rushed for 677 yards and three touchdowns on 128 carries (5.3 avg.). He also completed 44 of 85 passes for 480 yards and three touchdowns. Widing and Ramay excelled in the passing game last fall. Widing completing 60.6% of his passes (60 of 99) for 887 yards, nine touchdowns and just one interception. Ramay connected on 55.6% of his passes (40 of 72) for 625 yards, nine touchdowns and three interceptions. Both achieved passing efficiency ratings above 160.0. Willamette has eight returning starters on offense and five returning starters on defense. Mitchell Rowan, the punter and place-kicker, also returns for his junior season. Six of Willamette's returning starters on offense are seniors, led by wide receiver Scott Schoettgen. In 2009, Schoettgen caught 49 passes for 840 yards and scored 14 touchdowns for the Bearcats. He tied a school record with
Quarterbacks Brian Widing (left) and Kevin Ramay (right) shared duties for most of the 2009 season. They each threw for nine touchdowns and completed more than 55% of their passes.

four touchdown catches against the University of Puget Sound on Nov. 7. He averaged 5.4 catches per game and 88.7 yards per game. He missed one game due to injury. He was named First Team All-Northwest Conference. Schoettgen earned a career-high 191 yards on just five catches against California Lutheran University on Sept. 12. In his three seasons at WU, he has caught 80 passes for 1,485 yards and 23 touchdowns. He needs six touchdowns to tie Willamette's career record for TD catches. Newcomer Jake Knecht (So., WR), a transfer from Illinois State University, will be another key receiver for the Bearcats. Knecht is originally from Issaquah, Wash. Jamiere Abney, a junior, filled in well at the tailback position last season after Deon Horne missed two of the final three games in his career due to injury. Abney carried the ball 56 times for 348 yards (6.2 avg.) and seven touchdowns during the season. Flankers Chad Pollard, a junior, and Mikey Lemon, a senior, also return. Pollard was chosen Second Team All-NWC after rushing for 311 yards on 46 carries (6.8 avg.) and catching 15 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns. Lemon gained 229 yards on 36 carries (6.4 avg.) and hauled in 11 passes for 140 yards. Terrell Malley, a sophomore, has exceptional speed and also will see playing time at tailback or flanker. He rushed for 270 yards on 48 carries as a freshman in 2009. Willamette returns three of five starters in the offensive line, but must replace Third Team All-West Region selections Scott Hirschberger at
Academic and Football Success
Season Outlook center and Joe Penkala at right tackle. Left tackle Edward Salceda and right guard Luis Guerra both earned Second Team All-NWC honors in 2009 and will be seniors this season.
Defense Willamette returns two of four starters in the defensive line, one of three starters at linebacker and two of four starters in the secondary. Four of the five returning starters on defense will be seniors in 2010. The senior starters are defensive end Walter Robinson II, inside linebacker Ralph Pineda, cornerback Jeff Kahler and safety Arlin Taylor. Pineda was selected Third Team All-America and First Team All-West Region by D3Football. com in 2009. He also was chosen First Team All-NWC in addition to being selected NWC Defensive Player of the Year. Ron Carter, the only returning starter who will be a junior this fall, was named Third Team All-West Region in 2009. He also was named First Team All-NWC. Pineda is the top returning tackler for WU, after finishing second on the squad in 2009 with 81 total tackles, including 5.5 tackles for losses and 3.0 quarterback sacks. He intercepted two passes, forced three fumbles and recovered three fumbles. Robinson made 60 tackles and led the Bearcats with 11.5 tackles for losses and 6.0 quarterback sacks.
Walter Robinson II (#45) tackles a California Lutheran player. Last year, Robinson achieved 60 total tackles and led Willamette with 11.5 tackles for losses and 6.0 quarterback sacks.
Taylor achieved 33 total tackles a year ago. He intercepted a pass and recovered one fumble. Kahler provided 17 tackles to go with three pass break-ups and two interceptions. A year ago the Bearcats used many players on defense, especially at linebacker and defensive back. As a result, the team should be able to find starters who already have experience at most of the remaining positions. "We played a lot of people at all of those positions on defense," Speckman said. "They all received a lot of playing time and are capable of stepping in and making a difference." A good example is Harmon Bruno at outside linebacker. Bruno, who is a junior this season, played in all 10 games off the bench in 2009 and ranked third on the team with 66 total tackles. He was named Honorable Mention All-NWC.
Two newcomers who will battle for starting positions on defense are Dominic David (So., S) and Michael Del Real (Jr., S). Both have college experience, David at Portland State University and Del Real at Hartnell College.
Special Teams Special teams should remain strong. Mitchell Rowan (So.) averaged 35.7 yards per punt and hit 6 of 8 field goals. He made 46 of 51 extra points and now holds WU's career records with 108 makes on 117 attempts over two years. Jose Green, a senior this fall, is back as the primary punt and kick return specialist. In 2009 he averaged 24.3 yards on seven punt returns and gained an average of 18.2 yards on eight kickoff returns. Malley also returned kickoffs and averaged 18.1 yards on 16 attempts.

Sports Hall of Fame in 2007 and into the Menlo College Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009. Head Coach Mark Speckman led the Bearcats to the NCAA Division III Playoffs in 1999, 2004 and 2008.

Willamette is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and competes in Division III, which has 447 members and is the largest NCAA division. Division III is about following your passions and discovering your potential. The college experience is a time of learning and growth. For student-athletes in Division III, this happens in the classroom, through athletics and, ultimately, by earning an academic degree. The Division III experience provides student-athletes with the opportunity to participate in a competitive athletic environment. Studen-athletes can push themselves to excellence. At WU, studentathletes are encouraged to pursue their full passions and find their potential through a comprehensive educational experience. Athletes in Division III do not receive financial aid related to athletic ability. Willamette and other NCAA Division III members encourage students to participate by maximizing the number and variety of athletic opportunities. An emphasis is placed on conference and regional play. Willamette often sends its teams to California, Idaho, Washington and Texas for in-region games.
Willamette and the other eight members of the Northwest Conference shifted their affiliation to the NCAA in 1998. In almost every sport, the winner of the NWC earns an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III national championship bracket. The WU football team has competed in the NCAA Playoffs three times: 1999, 2004 and 2008. In 2008, Willamette was the #1 seed in the West Region and defeated Occidental in the first round of the playoffs before falling to eventual national runner-up University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. WU reached the playoffs in the NAIA in 1968, 1996 and 1997. NCAA Division III members establish an environment with cultural diversity and gender equity among student-athletes and staff. In Division III, faculty and staff focus on the well-being of student-athletes.

The Northwest Conference The nine private colleges and universities in Oregon and Washington that form the Northwest Conference are building a strong reputation for the NWC as one of the top NCAA Division III leagues in the nation. The NWC is nationally competitive in a very wide spectrum of sports. Formed in 1926, the NWC has changed membership and national affiliation during its 82-year existence. It is one of the oldest conferences in the western United States. The NWC’s current members in Oregon are Willamette, George Fox, Linfield, Lewis and Clark, and Pacific. Members located in Washington are Pacific Lutheran, Puget Sound, Whitman and Whitworth. Charter members included Willamette, the College of Idaho, Linfield, Pacific and Puget Sound. Albany College was added in 1931, remained for seven years, and then returned in 1949 as Lewis & Clark College.
Pacific Lutheran joined in 1965 and was followed by Whitworth (1970). The College of Idaho withdrew from the conference in 1978. Whitworth dropped out in 1984 and returned in 1988. Menlo joined in 2006 as a member in football only and withdrew after the 2009. The NWC offers championships in 18 sports (nine men’s and nine women’s). The NWC originally sponsored athletic competition for men’s sports only, but later joined forces with the Women’s Conference of Independent Colleges (WCIC) in 1984

Also in 1998, all nine NWC members shifted affiliation from the NAIA to the NCAA. Members knew the move would foster equity, sportsmanship and a genuine concern for all student-athletes.

2009 Willamette Season Review The Bearcats achieved an 8-2 overall record in 2009, while finishing in second place in the Northwest Conference at 5-1. Willamette ended the regular season ranked #20 in the AFCA Poll and listed at #21 in the D3football.com Top 25. Willamette has earned a combined record of 19-3 (.864) over the past two seasons. In 2008, WU achieved an 11-1 record, including 10-0 in the regular season. After starting quarterback Ryan Whitcomb was injured in the first game of the 2009 season, Willamette was led on offense by two talented freshmen at quarterback.
Willamette scored 382 points in 2009, the second highest regular season total in school history, trailing only the 423 points scored during the regular season in 2008. Brian Widing and Kevin Ramay put together outstanding seasons. Widing completed 60.6% of his passes (60 of 99) for 887 yards and nine touchdowns. Ramay connected on 40 of 72 pass attempts (55.6%) for 625 yards and nine TDs. Deon Horne (Sr., TB) missed two games due to injury, but led the Bearcats with 85 carries for 463 yards. He scored three touchdowns. Sophomore tailback Jamiere Abney added 348 yards on the ground while carrying the ball 56 times. He scored a team-high seven rushing touchdowns. Chad Pollard (So., FL) rushed for 311 yards on 46 attempts, while Terrell Malley (Fr., TB) contributed 270 yards on 48 carries.
The WU defense ranked 6th in NCAA Division III with 34 quarterback sacks in 2009. WU allowed just 15.9 points per game to rank 22nd in scoring defense. Twelve Bearcats scored at least one rushing touchdown. Abney led the way with seven TDs, followed by Ramay with four. Horne’s three scores were matched by Malley and Pollard. WU tallied 30 rushing touchdowns overall. Scott Schoettgen (Jr., WR) led Willamette’s receivers with 49 catches for 840 yards and 14 touchdowns. He set career highs with nine catches versus Puget Sound and 191 yards in receptions against California Lutheran. Pollard caught 15 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged 18.6 yards per catch. Mikey Lemon (Jr., FL) grabbed 11 passes for 140 yards. The Bearcats averaged 38.2 points and 402.8 total yards per game.

WU was 22nd in the nation in scoring defense and 30th in total defense. Leading tacklers for the Bearcats were inside linebackers Andrew Ross (Sr.) and Ralph Pineda (Jr.). Ross earned 87 tackles, while Pineda made 81 tackles, forced three fumbles, recovered three fumbles and intercepted two passes. Harmon Bruno (So., OLB) ranked third on the team with 66 tackles. He was followed by Walter Robinson II with 60 tackles. WU amassed an impressive 69 tackles for losses and 34 quarterback sacks. Robinson led the team in both categories, with 11.5 tackles for

Hirschberger and defensive end Cory Lowe (Sr.) played in Mexico in the Tazon de Estrellas (Bowl of the Stars) as members of the United States All-Star team from NCAA Division III. Willamette forced opponents into throwing 14 interceptions and losing 12 fumbles. The 26 turnovers were nine more than those made by the Bearcats, as WU achieved a +9 in takeaways.
